of perdition It was your generation of the same seed that put the Apostles to death and now you make merchandise of their words and exceeds in hypocrisie and double-heartedness and have turned every way according to the changing of the power of the Beast Some of you were Teachers for the King and Bishops and were ordained by their Law and your Prayers have been to your Idol God for all sorts from whom you could receive a reward or be advantaged and you are now divided in many Sects and judgements and false Opinions and have divided the people into divers ways of Idol-worship throwing down one part of the Image and setting up and exalting another and your Offerings and Oblations and Prayer and Praises hath been a burthen and weariness to my soul saith the Lord and you now are at war in your minds one with another divers in your Language though but one Original which is the womb of Witchcraft and your Kingdom is darkness and a heap of confusion under the dominion of death reigning but you are at concord in war against me and against my servant whom I have chosen from among you to bear witness against you you are the most of all guilty of that great persecution and unjust suffering and Imprisonment through Tyranny laid upon them for you stir up and intercede the Power of the Beast thereunto upon which you sit till you both be cast into the Lake you are risen in all your power to manage War against my Kingdom which is appearing to make yours a desolation for ever The Beast is risen in defence of you already and you pray to your dead gods and preaches to your ignorant people against my Heritage deceiving thousands whose blood will be of you required who are ever learning of you but never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth by you being kept in infidelity and blindness under you whose blood you are absolutely guilty of your Rebellion is the crime of Witchcraft who cannot cease to do evil for you have bound your selves in the Covenant with hell and are at agreement with death while you are upon earth and would bind the people with you in the same Faith or rather Unbelief that none can be perfectly saved from sin while they live upon earth but you are the filthy dreamers which doth defile the flesh and when you awake you will be found empty of all righteousness your cup is full of fornication and of the wine of Whoredomes and Idolatry my patience will be turned into fury against you and my cup of indignation is the assured portion of your lot and blood shall you have to drink as your gift and reward from me and your present pleasure shall be turned into howling everlasting and your songs shall be changed into Wo worth the day my plagues shall remain with you upon Earth and follow you to the lake and your staff and strength in which you trust even the power of the Beast shall be broken with you and be buried in the grave of everlasting contempt to arise in reproach unto my heritage for ever and my fire of Indignation is already kindling upon you which will burn for evermore and not be quenched To all you called Papists to your whole Body and Head at Rome the Word of the Lord reacheth THus assuredly saith the Lord my Controversie is against you and my vengeance and wrath and fury shall for ever world without end be upon you though you pardon one another yet will not I pardon any one of you for your grievous Adulteries and Abominations hath surpassed all other generations in the womb of whoredoms your children are conceived begotten by the seed of adulteries in the very strength of the man of sin and at the Breasts of murther and cruelty you are nourished in sucking hainous and cruel Tyrannie you are seated upon the highest mountain of Oppression and Idolatry Peter was not your Predecessor but the Divel himself you succeed in blood and envie and cruelty and he is your Rock with whom you shall fall in everlasting perdition being upon him builded in your whole Body and he is the Father of your Faith received from him by succession tâ—aditionally and your Religion is of Cain's antiquity who was the Ancient in your profession of offering sacrifice and killing the just your sword hath been made fat in the blood of the innocent you have sought to slay even the very likeness of Righteousness and hath stood armed with cruelty against the upright waiting for the blood of the guiltless to asswage your thirst and your Seat at Rome which once had the Faith of Jesus Christ in purity where members of his Body inhabited you have turned into the habitation of Divels and it is become the open Mother of profess Whoredoms which brings forth cursed children of witch craâ—t and is the abiding place of members of an abominable harlot and the profession of Jesus have you turned into a cruelty against Jesus and into the murther of him Some of you are made a curse already and with vengeance and indignation shall the rest be pursued till your Body be rooted from off the Earth you have been strong in your Seat of darkness upon your seven mountains of perfect abomination and none was able to encounter you in your strength of Infidelity but it shall be turned into weakness and your whoredoms shall appear and your present honour shall be turned into contempt everlasting for while you say you have wrought to merit life eternal your unbelief will bring death everlasting and your Works merits my fire of eternal judgement and condemnation and while you have said you eat and drink the Flesh and Blood really you have crucified his life totally and your consecrating of things unto youâ— Idol god hath been your defilement and pollution in the sight of the true God to Images and Pictures have you bowed and have worshipped the Saints Days and Names and bowed to their likeness of mans inventions but have slain their life and trodden under foot their nature and glory and buried their righteousness and knowledge in the grave of your wickedness and ignorance and in imaginations have you rested and in vain superstitions have you hoped honouring the name of Christ and killing his life the womb of darkness are you shut up in upon earth and it will be your bed for ever in hell and death and your Purgatory will deceive you and your clensing will never come Defiled defiled and loathsom are you in the pure eye of light which the secret of your deceit searcheth and your darkness feeleth and shall judge you for ever Rome Italy France and Spain and your Dominions to all your Kings Princes Bishops Priests Jeâ—â—its Prelâ—tes and Frâ—â—rs and Nuns and whole Train of Idolaters The Cup of my vengeance is towards you and the dregs thereof shall you drink and my overflowing whirlwind of wrath as an irresistable flood is against your
banks and thy fire of eternal fury shall bâ— through your stubble and my everlasting light shall make search and Inquisition for the blood of my Elect which is found in thy skirts Thou abominable harlot of lothsome adultry Tremble tremble tremble at my dreadful living presence ye worshippers of dead Images the day of repentance is well nigh past your long Idolatry will my long patience turn into everlasting misery and judgement and Nations shall see your shame and in the sight of your Lovers shall you be tormented And this from Authority by my Spirit of Glory is sent you a warning and is the voice of a Trumpet which gives a certain sound against the mighty dreadful day of the Lord which upon you is coming to make you an desolation for ever and ever and the eternal Decree is sealing against you never to be altered To all you called Protestants of the Eldest sort THus saith the Lord my controversie is against you and my hand will be upon you you have a strong taste of the Bottle wherein the wine of Fornication is and your scent is leavened with the first vessel of abomination you are seated in darkness pitched upon six of the first mountains under another branch of the first Tree Ignorance and are children of the first womb begotten in another appearance of the Whores Beauty and are more comly in stature then your eldest Brethren and little is your difference to be discerned from the first Beast in your appearance and nothing at all in the ground you say you believe for eternal life but your unbelief will bring upon you everlasting death your talking of Christ and his righteousness imputed which you profess will not cover your infidelity and filthiness for you are in the enmity against his life the working of the first for life and your believing for life springs both out of one ground and while you say you eat and drink the Body and Blood of Christ in the figure you kill and crucifie him in the substance and art partakers of thy Sisters sins in whoredom and Idolatry and must partake of her plagues Wo wo will be your Inheritance in the Pit of Earth for ever instead of a heavenly glory which you dream of above the sky I have armed my Armies to do my work herein which hath in part and will fulfil it to break you to pieces the intents of your hearts hath been known to be always against my people neither could you bear any appearance of me but blasphemes my name and truth in every discovery you have loved darkness upon earth and in its chains shall you be bound in the Lake for evermore To all you that are called Presbyterians and Independents THe Lords controversie is against you for you are a higher Branch of the first Tree deeper rooted in the cursed ground of fleshly and sensual wisdom and the womb of your conception is the first Whores daughter more comly decked and your Cistern holes the wine of fornication at which you drink in a measure her abomination and where you say you beleeves for justification and applies the promises for salvation your works of wickedness and hypocrisie will bring damnation and gains the promise of condemnation who are in pride and high-mindedness and double-heartedness which is the condition of that promise and you are found wanting every whit the conditions of the promise of eternal life you have reformed the outward man into obedience unto another likeness of the truth without the life and are as vise in the inward in hypocrisie and self exalting and hath covered yâ—â—r selves with the Saints words and said up more in store of the report of their riches then your fore-fathers and now you are become worshippers of the form and words of the Saints and are grown in the knowledge more then some of your father's children but in extolling the Saints words you limit their Spirit and keeps in death their life which was not of the world neither in appearance nor ground and while you say you eat and drink the flesh and blood of Christ in secret and separate you put him to death openly and among the multitudes your hearts are ful of bitterness against my remnant whom I have called and aloud you cry Heresie and Error and Blasphemes my Name and loaths the honey-comb in your full Stomacks you worship the same God as your fore-fathers did only in another appearance more refined through stronger wisdom and appears in the reformed old man thinking him to be the new man and deceives your souls hereby and are zealous in your blindness in your Will-worships and fained humility which is without the knowledge of God and you depend upon your Imaginations thinking to have life in the Scripture as they did which put Christ to death and will not come to Christ that you may have life you are in the knowledge gathered from without you which is natural and in it you are corrupted and some of you are brutish in your knowledge and are thereby puft up into pride and vain-glory your separation from the world is sensual and self separation and differs but a little in your appearance and nothing in the ground for the cursed ground stands within untilled and unbroken and you worship God ignorantly at a distance and feeds upon the report of a thing done many hundred of yeers ago and your faith doth not give you victory over the world for 't is set in your hearts and the vanities of it without is followed pride and oppression and fulness Some of you are hot and furious in your blind zeal and cannot endure sound Doctrine your fruits will wither and all your knowledge will perish and all your hopes and expectations will fail and all your praiseâ— and prayers and all your good works brought forth in your own wills in that nature in which the enmity lodges is a lame and a blind sacrifice and of Cains nature which God accepteth not you are in the liberty of the flesh and the daylie Cross of Christ you do not know but lives daylie to the world and dies not in it and your knowledge of Christ is without you by what such a Prophet and such an Apostle spoke of him and the witness of the operation of his Spirit and Power you have not in you nor his Sufferings you do not know in your life but by your life makes him to suffer in his life the horrible filthy thing is commited amongst you and your Teachers are perfect in the false Prophets steps and some of you are as brute beasts in their knowledge gathered in by vain study and humane learning through Philosophy and vain deceit and hath large quarters from which they seel their gain and through covetousness with feigned words makes merchandise of souls and are compleat in Bâ—laâ—mâ— way of Idolatry following his Error loving the wages of unrighteousness teaching for filthy lucre devouring souls for dishonest gain by trading with
